The Sound [Invite]

[chiatsuki]

As the sun was rising here upon the kage memorial atop the head of the second hokage, uchiha ryusuke, I could hear a strong ‘base’ betrothing my every nerve. It was on this mountain where I had met my first recruit inside of the black corps. programme, hyuuga kohana. The reason I had chosen to stand upon the second head jousting out of the mountain in the form of the nidaime was because it all remained eerily symbolic.

The first of the hokage’s was a hyuuga, as was the primary member within ROOTs enlistment and here upon the head of a uchiha, the second hokage, I awaited a second addition to my underground team whom coincidentally just happened to be uchiha as well. The thought transpired as my hand meshed over my communications device, tuning it to channel ‘2’.

Kkssshhh!
“Agata, I need you to report to Uchiha Unmei. Tell her I received her application and wish to meet her at the memorial.”

“Copy-that sir.”

[くすり]

It was early, but I was already awake. Watching the amber sun rise from my window as I threw on my shirt there was a light knocking at my door. Strolling through the hall I peaked through the peep hole before opening it. There was a man I'd seen before around the Hokage manor, assuming it was of importance I readied myself for whatever he may have said or asked.

"Uchiha Unmei."

"Can I help you?"

Responding to him, I was all ears, eagerly awaiting him to inform me of why I had the pleasure of him visiting me on this morning. He cleared his throat before speaking in a deep voice. "The Hokage has reviewed your profile and is considering you for the ROOT program. He wishes to see you immediately and awaits your arrival at the Kage Memorial."

"Thank you, tell him i'm on my way!"

Masked by the sound of ringing bells and guised by a blur, I'd appear before the hokage, my posture perfect within his presence. My black eyes looked at the man who was apart of the same clan I was, he was someone who was influential, someone important. I yearned for his status, but I wasn't here today to gawk at him. It was to hear him out about a special sect I wanted to join.

"Uchiha Unmei here as requested sir."

[chiatsuki]

I turned to her as she made herself visible– the sun rising to full height in the moment I pivoted. I recognized her face from the profile I had pulled- although just a genin and eleven years old she had more potential than any other person in the village. . and why? Because she was still moldable, holding the innocence one needed to create a true warrior, and most importantly; she was the daughter of Kouketsu Uchiha.

”Pleasure to meet you Ms. Unmei – you may call me Moesashi if you’d like. Sir makes me feel a little old..”

My tone was meant to sound charming, welcoming even, as I flickered closer to her in the moment she appeared. She was obviously not here for games, not that I’d expected her to be, and so I would validate my objective only after a few moments of silence after our greetings.

“I requested for you because I’m recruiting certain shinobi and kunoichi to join an elite group completely detached to the council and its politics.”

An impenetrable glare, emanating from my own eyes, would return into her hues – looking deep within the center of her very soul. Although she was the daughter of a legend did not mean I would be any more lenient on her. She would be treated as if she was a Jounin but her identity would have to remain secret if this organization were going to remain enigmatic.

“This organization of mine is called ROOT, an underground section of ANBU that I’ve made to restore order to this nation. You could be apart of that if you’re willing to. But I won’t guarantee you’ll like the type of work we do...”

[くすり]

Rays of scattering orange speckled my back, heralding the glorious sun's rise to radiance. I could see it reflect from his black eyes that gazed at me with inclusiveness. In turn, my own gaze ran over his entire body, measuring the Hokage from head to toe in a subtle fashion. Instead of interrupting Moesashi i nodded in response, allowing him to continue. Like a river his words flowed together meeting at a single point. That point was that he was interested in shaping me, molding my skills so that I could be a proficient tool to be utilized. To be honest such a role didn't disgust me. In truth welcomed it.

"I'd be honored to participate in such a cause. If you'll have me Moesashi I'll follow you."

I blinked slow.

This was my chance to do something great, to show that i wasn't some Uchiha girl who was too weak to wield the eyes of the clan I belonged to. Even without it. Even without the genius talent Ashura possessed. I too had my golden points, things only I could accomplish. He had chosen me of all the others, that in itself was the fruition of my hard work and dedicated ethic. Things were starting to fall into place, the red string of fate that I was named after bonded me and the Hokage, our destinies now intertwined, I looked forward to the path we'd pave not as one, but two.

"So... what now?"

[chiatsuki]

“So..what now?”

I would smile as she spoke in knowing that fate had joined us in the moment we had met one another. ROOT was only the beginning to our journey… a seed… planted within the lot of us – and it would soon grow into something much more mature in form. From behind me I’d pull out a communications radio and hand it to her.

“This will serve as our communication. I will call you Sabishime and you will call me Moesashi…for now I am the only person you know. “

My hand would then pull along my personal device, putting it up in front of her so that she could get a clear view of what I was going to show her.

“Channel 0 is our personal channel. All of ROOT will use this channel. Your first task will be to secure information on any other nuke ninja, whether they be from our village or not. I would also prefer that you captured them alive, but dead is also fine. You could start by watching the borders of the capital city – we already have eyes on our gates, but we have yet to secure the border between the village and Tanzaku Gai. Our primary goal is to seize all missing ninja of the leaf, at any cost.”

As I spoke my hand would once more grab at an item on my satchel belt – an extra mask. Unlike the regular ANBU these masks were completely black, void of any color. I would also hand this item to her – providing her with the necessary tools she could use to remain a shadow amongst the public. What she chose to do with it now was completely up to her.

If she was anything like her father the beast within her was only patiently waiting for the right moment to show itself.

“There will be a meeting tomorrow with the rest of ROOT at our headquarters, I will give you all the location of its whereabouts at a quarter till. For now – you may do as you please. ”

[くすり]

"Sabishime..."

Mumbling the alias under my breath, I felt as if a new identity-a mask had been placed over myself. It was different... as if my entire being was being re-created into something entirely different. It was exciting. Taking the communication device in my hands, my eyes scanned over it with little interest. I, instead was sure to have kept a watchful gaze over the Hokage, so that I could learnt eh essentials. Making mental reminders over the more noteworthy things he said, I went through them in my head as he continued.

Channel 0 was the only one I'd be using for now to pass along important, key information. It was the secure line and therefore the highest on my priority to utilize. The mission given to me was simple, yet complex. I was to investigate any missing persons as well as those under suspicions of going nuke. I'd also have to keep an eye on other nations trouble makers. It was a dangerous task, but if it was what I was to be assigned I'd complete it to the utmost of my abilities.

Designated to Tanzaku Gai, I'd be sure to keep it under an watchful eye. I was known as the hawks eye of Konoha. Nothing escaped my arrow. Grabbing the mask I'd examine it for but a brief moment. Taking it and putting the black veil in my own satchel I'd look at the Hokage once more before I would go on my way. "Understood Moesashi." Turning around, I'd make my way back to my home to prepare a few items for my trip so that I'd be more than be prepared for my surveillance duty as ROOT. I would be the shadow looming behind all those who were my targets....
